Can you produce any of these "plethora"? None from any journalists related to the club, no sniff from the ITKs and none from any reliable Spanish journos either.

Just google search "Real madrid put bid in for Otamendi" there's your Plethora!

Im defending a city player to another city supporter seems a bit weird really.
 
Keep digging. Your still spouting your opinion and your opinion only. That's what "people & the general public" think - LMAO.

Made me laugh the that as well. Utter tripe!

I can't imagine how completely out of touch you are if you actually think Otamendi is rated outside of City fans.

Do you never speak to people who aren't City fans? Do you never listen to any radio/tv shows or read any newspapers?

Even people who like Otamendi should be able to accept he's not seen of as a good signing or a great defender by the wider footballing public.
 


Looks solid here. I know it means fuck all on YouTube but a lot of people would be creaming themselves if we were about to spend £30m+ on this guy.
He's actually pretty decent.

Quality player,been playing in a shit defence and system !
 
I personally think its ludicrous to compare VVD to Otamendi. Van Dijk is an imposing, commanding figure defensively and reads situations superbly on the pitch. Otamendi is too hit and miss. Some games he looks superb, other games he looks woeful. He is such an erratic defender and I find it bizarre how good he looks alongside Kompany, but also how terrible he looks without Kompany. He is the type of defender who looks good as the secondary centre back with an organiser alongside him, but without an organiser he doesn't have the presence, the character and the mentality to lead our defence. Van Dijk from what I have seen ticks all the boxes.

Otamendi needs to learn to stay on his feet for a start. There is only one winner for me. Virgil Van Dijk.
 
Let's keep this roughly on topic. Any discussion of Sterling can go in the relevant thread. Also, less of the personal abuse to those who have a different opinion. Cheers.

Think Otamendi has been staying upright a bit more recently. But i must admit i think VVD is a cracking player.

But the woeful games are getting less and less frequent, and since Kompany returned he's been constantly superb. Personally I would never trade Otamendi for Van Dijk.
I don't think City fans always appreciate how good he is to be honest.
